Government Jobs

People get jobs in the federal government in the same way that they get most jobs in the private industry: by finding job openings and submitting a resume or job application. You can research and apply for government jobs online with a resume. However, while the process is now very similar to that in private industry, there are still significant differences due to the many laws, executive orders, and regulations that govern federal and state employment.

USAJOBS.gov can help you find out how federal jobs are filled; learn more about the hiring reform; find tips for your resume, application, and interview; and how to apply for federal jobs. Most federal jobs are listed on USAJOBS; however, some excepted service agencies, such U. S. Department of State for Foreign Service Officers, post jobs independently on their own website or elsewhere. If you’d like to work for a specific agency, do a targeted search of their job sections and employment information pages.

Search for JobsThe federal government has thousands of job openings at any given time. Use Advanced Search to narrow your search by job title, agency, location, and other criteria.

Apply for JobsEach vacancy announcement has unique application requirements. If you've determined that you qualify for a position, review the "How to Apply" section of the job announcement. Some positions seek electronic applications while others accept applications by mail.

CitizenshipU.S. citizenship is required for most federal jobs. Some agencies hire non-citizens through special hiring procedures. Contact agencies directly to inquire about positions for non-citizens.

Security ClearanceSome jobs with the federal government require a security clearance; however, the government will not request or pay for a background investigation until you are offered a position that requires a clearance.

The Turbotax Home & Business Federal E File State 2011 Old Version

Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 9. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depletion Table of Contents Introduction Topics - This chapter discusses: Who Can Claim Depletion? Mineral PropertyCost Depletion Percentage Depletion Oil and Gas Wells Mines and Geothermal Deposits Lessor's Gross Income TimberTimber units. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depletion unit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Introduction Depletion is the using up of natural resources by mining, drilling, quarrying stone, or cutting timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The depletion deduction allows an owner or operator to account for the reduction of a product's reserves. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version There are two ways of figuring depletion: cost depletion and percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For mineral property, you generally must use the method that gives you the larger deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For standing timber, you must use cost depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Topics - This chapter discusses: Who can claim depletion Mineral property Timber Who Can Claim Depletion? If you have an economic interest in mineral property or standing timber, you can take a deduction for depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version More than one person can have an economic interest in the same mineral deposit or timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version In the case of leased property, the depletion deduction is divided between the lessor and the lessee. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You have an economic interest if both the following apply. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You have acquired by investment any interest in mineral deposits or standing timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You have a legal right to income from the extraction of the mineral or cutting of the timber to which you must look for a return of your capital investment. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A contractual relationship that allows you an economic or monetary advantage from products of the mineral deposit or standing timber is not, in itself, an economic interest. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A production payment carved out of, or retained on the sale of, mineral property is not an economic interest. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Individuals, corporations, estates, and trusts who claim depletion deductions may be liable for alternative minimum tax. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Basis adjustment for depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must reduce the basis of your property by the depletion allowed or allowable, whichever is greater. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Mineral Property Mineral property includes oil and gas wells, mines, and other natural deposits (including geothermal deposits). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For this purpose, the term “property” means each separate interest you own in each mineral deposit in each separate tract or parcel of land. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You can treat two or more separate interests as one property or as separate properties. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See section 614 of the Internal Revenue Code and the related regulations for rules on how to treat separate mineral interests. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version There are two ways of figuring depletion on mineral property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Cost depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Generally, you must use the method that gives you the larger deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version However, unless you are an independent producer or royalty owner, you generally cannot use percentage depletion for oil and gas wells. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See Oil and Gas Wells , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Cost Depletion To figure cost depletion you must first determine the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The property's basis for depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The total recoverable units of mineral in the property's natural deposit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The number of units of mineral sold during the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Basis for depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure the property's basis for depletion, subtract all the following from the property's adjusted basis. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Amounts recoverable through: Depreciation deductions, Deferred expenses (including deferred exploration and development costs), and Deductions other than depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The residual value of land and improvements at the end of operations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The cost or value of land acquired for purposes other than mineral production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Adjusted basis. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The adjusted basis of your property is your original cost or other basis, plus certain additions and improvements, and minus certain deductions such as depletion allowed or allowable and casualty losses. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Your adjusted basis can never be less than zero. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See Publication 551, Basis of Assets, for more information on adjusted basis. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Total recoverable units. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The total recoverable units is the sum of the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The number of units of mineral remaining at the end of the year (including units recovered but not sold). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The number of units of mineral sold during the tax year (determined under your method of accounting, as explained next). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must estimate or determine recoverable units (tons, pounds, ounces, barrels, thousands of cubic feet, or other measure) of mineral products using the current industry method and the most accurate and reliable information you can obtain. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must include ores and minerals that are developed, in sight, blocked out, or assured. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must also include probable or prospective ores or minerals that are believed to exist based on good evidence. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version But see Elective safe harbor for owners of oil and gas property , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Number of units sold. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You determine the number of units sold during the tax year based on your method of accounting. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Use the following table to make this determination. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version IF you use . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version THEN the units sold during the year are . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The cash method of accounting The units sold for which you receive payment during the tax year (regardless of the year of sale). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version An accrual method of accounting The units sold based on your inventories and method of accounting for inventory. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The number of units sold during the tax year does not include any for which depletion deductions were allowed or allowable in earlier years. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figuring the cost depletion deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Once you have figured your property's basis for depletion, the total recoverable units, and the number of units sold during the tax year, you can figure your cost depletion deduction by taking the following steps. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Step Action Result 1 Divide your property's basis for depletion by total recoverable units. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Rate per unit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 2 Multiply the rate per unit by units sold during the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Cost depletion deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must keep accounts for the depletion of each property and adjust these accounts each year for units sold and depletion claimed. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Elective safe harbor for owners of oil and gas property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Instead of using the method described earlier to determine the total recoverable units, you can use an elective safe harbor. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you choose the elective safe harbor, the total recoverable units equal 105% of a property's proven reserves (both developed and undeveloped). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For details, see Revenue Procedure 2004-19 on page 563 of Internal Revenue Bulletin 2004-10, available at www. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version irs. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb04-10. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version pdf. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To make the election, attach a statement to your timely filed (including extensions) original return for the first tax year for which the safe harbor is elected. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The statement must indicate that you are electing the safe harbor provided by Revenue Procedure 2004-19. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The election, if made, is effective for the tax year in which it is made and all later years. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version It cannot be revoked for the tax year in which it is elected, but may be revoked in a later year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Once revoked, it cannot be re-elected for the next 5 years. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Percentage Depletion To figure percentage depletion, you multiply a certain percentage, specified for each mineral, by your gross income from the property during the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The rates to be used and other rules for oil and gas wells are discussed later under Independent Producers and Royalty Owners and under Natural Gas Wells . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Rates and other rules for percentage depletion of other specific minerals are found later in Mines and Geothermal Deposits . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Gross income. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version When figuring percentage depletion, subtract from your gross income from the property the following amounts. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Any rents or royalties you paid or incurred for the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The part of any bonus you paid for a lease on the property allocable to the product sold (or that otherwise gives rise to gross income) for the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A bonus payment includes amounts you paid as a lessee to satisfy a production payment retained by the lessor. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Use the following fraction to figure the part of the bonus you must subtract. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version No. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version of units sold in the tax year Recoverable units from the property × Bonus Payments For oil and gas wells and geothermal deposits, more information about the definition of gross income from the property is under Oil and Gas Wells , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For other property, more information about the definition of gross income from the property is under Mines and Geothermal Deposits , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Taxable income limit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The percentage depletion deduction generally cannot be more than 50% (100% for oil and gas property) of your taxable income from the property figured without the depletion deduction and the domestic production activities deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Taxable income from the property means gross income from the property minus all allowable deductions (except any deduction for depletion or domestic production activities) attributable to mining processes, including mining transportation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version These deductible items include, but are not limited to, the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Operating expenses. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Certain selling expenses. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Administrative and financial overhead. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depreciation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Intangible drilling and development costs. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Exploration and development expenditures. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Deductible taxes (see chapter 5), but not taxes that you capitalize or take as a credit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Losses sustained. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The following rules apply when figuring your taxable income from the property for purposes of the taxable income limit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Do not deduct any net operating loss deduction from the gross income from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Corporations do not deduct charitable contributions from the gross income from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If, during the year, you dispose of an item of section 1245 property that was used in connection with mineral property, reduce any allowable deduction for mining expenses by the part of any gain you must report as ordinary income that is allocable to the mineral property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See section 1. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 613-5(b)(1) of the regulations for information on how to figure the ordinary gain allocable to the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Oil and Gas Wells You cannot claim percentage depletion for an oil or gas well unless at least one of the following applies. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You are either an independent producer or a royalty owner. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The well produces natural gas that is either sold under a fixed contract or produced from geopressured brine. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you are an independent producer or royalty owner, see Independent Producers and Royalty Owners , next. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For information on the depletion deduction for wells that produce natural gas that is either sold under a fixed contract or produced from geopressured brine, see Natural Gas Wells , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Independent Producers and Royalty Owners If you are an independent producer or royalty owner, you figure percentage depletion using a rate of 15% of the gross income from the property based on your average daily production of domestic crude oil or domestic natural gas up to your depletable oil or natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version However, certain refiners, as explained next, and certain retailers and transferees of proven oil and gas properties, as explained next, cannot claim percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For information on figuring the deduction, see Figuring percentage depletion , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Refiners who cannot claim percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You cannot claim percentage depletion if you or a related person refine crude oil and you and the related person refined more than 75,000 barrels on any day during the tax year based on average (rather than actual) daily refinery runs for the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The average daily refinery run is computed by dividing total refinery runs for the tax year by the total number of days in the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You and another person are related persons if either of you holds a significant ownership interest in the other person or if a third person holds a significant ownership interest in both of you. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For example, a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust and anyone who holds a significant ownership interest in it are related persons. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A partnership and a trust are related persons if one person holds a significant ownership interest in each of them. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For purposes of the related person rules, significant ownership interest means direct or indirect ownership of 5% or more in any one of the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The value of the outstanding stock of a corporation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The interest in the profits or capital of a partnership. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The beneficial interests in an estate or trust. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Any interest owned by or for a corporation, partnership, trust, or estate is considered to be owned directly both by itself and proportionately by its shareholders, partners, or beneficiaries. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Retailers who cannot claim percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You cannot claim percentage depletion if both the following apply. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You sell oil or natural gas or their by-products directly or through a related person in any of the following situations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Through a retail outlet operated by you or a related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To any person who is required under an agreement with you or a related person to use a trademark, trade name, or service mark or name owned by you or a related person in marketing or distributing oil, natural gas, or their by-products. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To any person given authority under an agreement with you or a related person to occupy any retail outlet owned, leased, or controlled by you or a related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The combined gross receipts from sales (not counting resales) of oil, natural gas, or their by-products by all retail outlets taken into account in (1) are more than $5 million for the tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For the purpose of determining if this rule applies, do not count the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Bulk sales (sales in very large quantities) of oil or natural gas to commercial or industrial users. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Bulk sales of aviation fuels to the Department of Defense. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Sales of oil or natural gas or their by-products outside the United States if none of your domestic production or that of a related person is exported during the tax year or the prior tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To determine if you and another person are related persons, see Related person under Refiners who cannot claim percentage depletion, earlier. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Sales through a related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You are considered to be selling through a related person if any sale by the related person produces gross income from which you may benefit because of your direct or indirect ownership interest in the person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You are not considered to be selling through a related person who is a retailer if all the following apply. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You do not have a significant ownership interest in the retailer. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You sell your production to persons who are not related to either you or the retailer. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The retailer does not buy oil or natural gas from your customers or persons related to your customers. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version There are no arrangements for the retailer to acquire oil or natural gas you produced for resale or made available for purchase by the retailer. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Neither you nor the retailer knows of or controls the final disposition of the oil or natural gas you sold or the original source of the petroleum products the retailer acquired for resale. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Transferees who cannot claim percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You cannot claim percentage depletion if you received your interest in a proven oil or gas property by transfer after 1974 and before October 12, 1990. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For a definition of the term “transfer,” see section 1. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 613A-7(n) of the regulations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For a definition of the term “interest in proven oil or gas property,” see section 1. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 613A-7(p) of the regulations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figuring percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Generally, as an independent producer or royalty owner, you figure your percentage depletion by computing your average daily production of domestic oil or gas and comparing it to your depletable oil or gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If your average daily production does not exceed your depletable oil or gas quantity, you figure your percentage depletion by multiplying the gross income from the oil or gas property (defined later) by 15%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If your average daily production of domestic oil or gas exceeds your depletable oil or gas quantity, you must make an allocation as explained later under Average daily production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version In addition, there is a limit on the percentage depletion deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See Taxable income limit , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Average daily production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure your average daily production by dividing your total domestic production of oil or gas for the tax year by the number of days in your tax year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Partial interest. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you have a partial interest in the production from a property, figure your share of the production by multiplying total production from the property by your percentage of interest in the revenues from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You have a partial interest in the production from a property if you have a net profits interest in the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure the share of production for your net profits interest, you must first determine your percentage participation (as measured by the net profits) in the gross revenue from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure this percentage, you divide the income you receive for your net profits interest by the gross revenue from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Then multiply the total production from the property by your percentage participation to figure your share of the production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Example. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Javier Robles owns oil property in which Pablo Olmos owns a 20% net profits interest. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version During the year, the property produced 10,000 barrels of oil, which Javier sold for $200,000. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Javier had expenses of $90,000 attributable to the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The property generated a net profit of $110,000 ($200,000 − $90,000). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Pablo received income of $22,000 ($110,000 × . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 20) for his net profits interest. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Pablo determined his percentage participation to be 11% by dividing $22,000 (the income he received) by $200,000 (the gross revenue from the property). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Pablo determined his share of the oil production to be 1,100 barrels (10,000 barrels × 11%). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depletable oil or natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Generally, your depletable oil quantity is 1,000 barrels. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Your depletable natural gas quantity is 6,000 cubic feet multiplied by the number of barrels of your depletable oil quantity that you choose to apply. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you claim depletion on both oil and natural gas, you must reduce your depletable oil quantity (1,000 barrels) by the number of barrels you use to figure your depletable natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Example. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You have both oil and natural gas production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure your depletable natural gas quantity, you choose to apply 360 barrels of your 1000-barrel depletable oil quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Your depletable natural gas quantity is 2. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 16 million cubic feet of gas (360 × 6000). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must reduce your depletable oil quantity to 640 barrels (1000 − 360). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you have production from marginal wells, see section 613A(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code to figure your depletable oil or natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Also, see Notice 2012-50, available at www. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version irs.

Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Business entities and family members. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must allocate the depletable oil or gas quantity among the following related persons in proportion to each entity's or family member's production of domestic oil or gas for the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Corporations, trusts, and estates if 50% or more of the beneficial interest is owned by the same or related persons (considering only persons that own at least 5% of the beneficial interest). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You and your spouse and minor children. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A related person is anyone mentioned in the related persons discussion under Nondeductible loss in chapter 2 of Publication 544, except that for purposes of this allocation, item (1) in that discussion includes only an individual, his or her spouse, and minor children. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Controlled group of corporations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Members of the same controlled group of corporations are treated as one taxpayer when figuring the depletable oil or natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version They share the depletable quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A controlled group of corporations is defined in section 1563(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that, for this purpose, the stock ownership requirement in that definition is “more than 50%” rather than “at least 80%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version ” Gross income from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For purposes of percentage depletion, gross income from the property (in the case of oil and gas wells) is the amount you receive from the sale of the oil or gas in the immediate vicinity of the well. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you do not sell the oil or gas on the property, but manufacture or convert it into a refined product before sale or transport it before sale, the gross income from the property is the representative market or field price (RMFP) of the oil or gas, before conversion or transportation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you sold gas after you removed it from the premises for a price that is lower than the RMFP, determine gross income from the property for percentage depletion purposes without regard to the RMFP. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Gross income from the property does not include lease bonuses, advance royalties, or other amounts payable without regard to production from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Average daily production exceeds depletable quantities. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If your average daily production for the year is more than your depletable oil or natural gas quantity, figure your allowance for depletion for each domestic oil or natural gas property as follows. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure your average daily production of oil or natural gas for the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure your depletable oil or natural gas quantity for the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure depletion for all oil or natural gas produced from the property using a percentage depletion rate of 15%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Multiply the result figured in (3) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the result figured in (2) and the denominator of which is the result figured in (1). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This is your depletion allowance for that property for the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Taxable income limit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you are an independent producer or royalty owner of oil and gas, your deduction for percentage depletion is limited to the smaller of the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 100% of your taxable income from the property figured without the deduction for depletion and the deduction for domestic production activities under section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For a definition of taxable income from the property, see Taxable income limit , earlier, under Mineral Property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version 65% of your taxable income from all sources, figured without the depletion allowance, the deduction for domestic production activities, any net operating loss carryback, and any capital loss carryback. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You can carry over to the following year any amount you cannot deduct because of the 65%-of-taxable-income limit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Add it to your depletion allowance (before applying any limits) for the following year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Partnerships and S Corporations Generally, each partner or S corporation shareholder, and not the partnership or S corporation, figures the depletion allowance separately. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version (However, see Electing large partnerships must figure depletion allowance , later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version ) Each partner or shareholder must decide whether to use cost or percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If a partner or shareholder uses percentage depletion, he or she must apply the 65%-of-taxable-income limit using his or her taxable income from all sources. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Partner's or shareholder's adjusted basis. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership or S corporation must allocate to each partner or shareholder his or her share of the adjusted basis of each oil or gas property held by the partnership or S corporation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership or S corporation makes the allocation as of the date it acquires the oil or gas property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Each partner's share of the adjusted basis of the oil or gas property generally is figured according to that partner's interest in partnership capital. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version However, in some cases, it is figured according to the partner's interest in partnership income. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership or S corporation adjusts the partner's or shareholder's share of the adjusted basis of the oil and gas property for any capital expenditures made for the property and for any change in partnership or S corporation interests. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Recordkeeping. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Each partner or shareholder must separately keep records of his or her share of the adjusted basis in each oil and gas property of the partnership or S corporation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partner or shareholder must reduce his or her adjusted basis by the depletion allowed or allowable on the property each year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partner or shareholder must use that reduced adjusted basis to figure cost depletion or his or her gain or loss if the partnership or S corporation disposes of the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Reporting the deduction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Information that you, as a partner or shareholder, use to figure your depletion deduction on oil and gas properties is reported by the partnership or S corporation on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) or on Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Deduct oil and gas depletion for your partnership or S corporation interest on Schedule E (Form 1040). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The depletion deducted on Schedule E is included in figuring income or loss from rental real estate or royalty properties. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The instructions for Schedule E explain where to report this income or loss and whether you need to file either of the following forms. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Form 6198, At-Risk Limitations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Form 8582, Passive Activity Loss Limitations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Electing large partnerships must figure depletion allowance. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version An electing large partnership, rather than each partner, generally must figure the depletion allowance. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership figures the depletion allowance without taking into account the 65-percent-of-taxable-income limit and the depletable oil or natural gas quantity. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Also, the adjusted basis of a partner's interest in the partnership is not affected by the depletion allowance. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version An electing large partnership is one that meets both the following requirements. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership had 100 or more partners in the preceding year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The partnership chooses to be an electing large partnership. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Disqualified persons. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version An electing large partnership does not figure the depletion allowance of its partners that are disqualified persons. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Disqualified persons must figure it themselves, as explained earlier. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version All the following are disqualified persons. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Refiners who cannot claim percentage depletion (discussed under Independent Producers and Royalty Owners , earlier). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Retailers who cannot claim percentage depletion (discussed under Independent Producers and Royalty Owners , earlier). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Any partner whose average daily production of domestic crude oil and natural gas is more than 500 barrels during the tax year in which the partnership tax year ends. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Average daily production is discussed earlier. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Natural Gas Wells You can use percentage depletion for a well that produces natural gas that is either Sold under a fixed contract, or Produced from geopressured brine. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Natural gas sold under a fixed contract. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Natural gas sold under a fixed contract qualifies for a percentage depletion rate of 22%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This is domestic natural gas sold by the producer under a contract that does not provide for a price increase to reflect any increase in the seller's tax liability because of the repeal of percentage depletion for gas. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The contract must have been in effect from February 1, 1975, until the date of sale of the gas. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Price increases after February 1, 1975, are presumed to take the increase in tax liability into account unless demonstrated otherwise by clear and convincing evidence. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Natural gas from geopressured brine. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Qualified natural gas from geopressured brine is eligible for a percentage depletion rate of 10%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This is natural gas that is both the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Produced from a well you began to drill after September 1978 and before 1984. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Determined in accordance with section 503 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 to be produced from geopressured brine. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Mines and Geothermal Deposits Certain mines, wells, and other natural deposits, including geothermal deposits, qualify for percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Mines and other natural deposits. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For a natural deposit, the percentage of your gross income from the property that you can deduct as depletion depends on the type of deposit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The following is a list of the percentage depletion rates for the more common minerals. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version DEPOSITS RATE Sulphur, uranium, and, if from deposits in the United States, asbestos, lead ore, zinc ore, nickel ore, and mica 22% Gold, silver, copper, iron ore, and certain oil shale, if from deposits in the United States 15% Borax, granite, limestone, marble, mollusk shells, potash, slate, soapstone, and carbon dioxide produced from a well 14% Coal, lignite, and sodium chloride 10% Clay and shale used or sold for use in making sewer pipe or bricks or used or sold for use as sintered or burned lightweight aggregates 7½% Clay used or sold for use in making drainage and roofing tile, flower pots, and kindred products, and gravel, sand, and stone (other than stone used or sold for use by a mine owner or operator as dimension or ornamental stone) 5% You can find a complete list of minerals and their percentage depletion rates in section 613(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Corporate deduction for iron ore and coal. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The percentage depletion deduction of a corporation for iron ore and coal (including lignite) is reduced by 20% of: The percentage depletion deduction for the tax year (figured without this reduction), minus The adjusted basis of the property at the close of the tax year (figured without the depletion deduction for the tax year). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Gross income from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For property other than a geothermal deposit or an oil or gas well, gross income from the property means the gross income from mining. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Mining includes all the following. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Extracting ores or minerals from the ground. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Applying certain treatment processes described later. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Transporting ores or minerals (generally, not more than 50 miles) from the point of extraction to the plants or mills in which the treatment processes are applied. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Excise tax. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Gross income from mining includes the separately stated excise tax received by a mine operator from the sale of coal to compensate the operator for the excise tax the mine operator must pay to finance black lung benefits. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Extraction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Extracting ores or minerals from the ground includes extraction by mine owners or operators of ores or minerals from the waste or residue of prior mining. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This does not apply to extraction from waste or residue of prior mining by the purchaser of the waste or residue or the purchaser of the rights to extract ores or minerals from the waste or residue. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Treatment processes. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The processes included as mining depend on the ore or mineral mined. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To qualify as mining, the treatment processes must be applied by the mine owner or operator. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For a listing of treatment processes considered as mining, see section 613(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and the related regulations. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Transportation of more than 50 miles. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If the IRS finds that the ore or mineral must be transported more than 50 miles to plants or mills to be treated because of physical and other requirements, the additional authorized transportation is considered mining and included in the computation of gross income from mining. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you wish to include transportation of more than 50 miles in the computation of gross income from mining, request an advance ruling from the IRS. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Include in the request the facts about the physical and other requirements that prevented the construction and operation of the plant within 50 miles of the point of extraction. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For more information about requesting an advance ruling, see Revenue Procedure 2013-1, available at www. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version irs. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version gov/irb/2013-01_IRB/ar11. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version html. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Disposal of coal or iron ore. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You cannot take a depletion deduction for coal (including lignite) or iron ore mined in the United States if both the following apply. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You disposed of it after holding it for more than 1 year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You disposed of it under a contract under which you retain an economic interest in the coal or iron ore. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Treat any gain on the disposition as a capital gain. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Disposal to related person. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This rule does not apply if you dispose of the coal or iron ore to one of the following persons. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A related person (as listed in chapter 2 of Publication 544). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A person owned or controlled by the same interests that own or control you. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Geothermal deposits. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Geothermal deposits located in the United States or its possessions qualify for a percentage depletion rate of 15%. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A geothermal deposit is a geothermal reservoir of natural heat stored in rocks or in a watery liquid or vapor. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For percentage depletion purposes, a geothermal deposit is not considered a gas well. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure gross income from the property for a geothermal steam well in the same way as for oil and gas wells. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See Gross income from the property , earlier, under Oil and Gas Wells. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Percentage depletion on a geothermal deposit cannot be more than 50% of your taxable income from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Lessor's Gross Income In the case of leased property, the depletion deduction is divided between the lessor and the lessee. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version A lessor's gross income from the property that qualifies for percentage depletion usually is the total of the royalties received from the lease. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Bonuses and advanced royalties. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Bonuses and advanced royalties are payments a lessee makes before production to a lessor for the grant of rights in a lease or for minerals, gas, or oil to be extracted from leased property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you are the lessor, your income from bonuses and advanced royalties received is subject to an allowance for depletion, as explained in the next two paragraphs. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figuring cost depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure cost depletion on a bonus, multiply your adjusted basis in the property by a fraction, the numerator of which is the bonus and the denominator of which is the total bonus and royalties expected to be received. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure cost depletion on advanced royalties, use the computation explained earlier under Cost Depletion , treating the number of units for which the advanced royalty is received as the number of units sold. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figuring percentage depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version In the case of mines, wells, and other natural deposits other than gas, oil, or geothermal property, you may use the percentage rates discussed earlier under Mines and Geothermal Deposits . Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Any bonus or advanced royalty payments are generally part of the gross income from the property to which the rates are applied in making the calculation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version However, for oil, gas, or geothermal property, gross income does not include lease bonuses, advanced royalties, or other amounts payable without regard to production from the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Ending the lease. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you receive a bonus on a lease that ends or is abandoned before you derive any income from mineral extraction, include in income the depletion deduction you took. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Do this for the year the lease ends or is abandoned. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Also increase your adjusted basis in the property to restore the depletion deduction you previously subtracted. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For advanced royalties, include in income the depletion claimed on minerals for which the advanced royalties were paid if the minerals were not produced before the lease ended. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Include this amount in income for the year the lease ends. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Increase your adjusted basis in the property by the amount you include in income. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Delay rentals. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version These are payments for deferring development of the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Since delay rentals are ordinary rent, they are ordinary income that is not subject to depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version These rentals can be avoided by either abandoning the lease, beginning development operations, or obtaining production. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Timber You can figure timber depletion only by the cost method. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Percentage depletion does not apply to timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Base your depletion on your cost or other basis in the timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Your cost does not include the cost of land or any amounts recoverable through depreciation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depletion takes place when you cut standing timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You can figure your depletion deduction when the quantity of cut timber is first accurately measured in the process of exploitation. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figuring cost depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version To figure your cost depletion allowance, you multiply the number of timber units cut by your depletion unit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Timber units. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version When you acquire timber property, you must make an estimate of the quantity of marketable timber that exists on the property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You measure the timber using board feet, log scale, cords, or other units. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you later determine that you have more or less units of timber, you must adjust the original estimate. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The term “timber property” means your economic interest in standing timber in each tract or block representing a separate timber account. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Depletion unit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You figure your depletion unit each year by taking the following steps. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Determine your cost or adjusted basis of the timber on hand at the beginning of the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Adjusted basis is defined under Cost Depletion in the discussion on Mineral Property. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Add to the amount determined in (1) the cost of any timber units acquired during the year and any additions to capital. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Figure the number of timber units to take into account by adding the number of timber units acquired during the year to the number of timber units on hand in the account at the beginning of the year and then adding (or subtracting) any correction to the estimate of the number of timber units remaining in the account. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Divide the result of (2) by the result of (3). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version This is your depletion unit. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Example. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You bought a timber tract for $160,000 and the land was worth as much as the timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Your basis for the timber is $80,000. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Based on an estimated one million board feet (1,000 MBF) of standing timber, you figure your depletion unit to be $80 per MBF ($80,000 ÷ 1,000). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you cut 500 MBF of timber, your depletion allowance would be $40,000 (500 MBF × $80). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version When to claim depletion. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Claim your depletion allowance as a deduction in the year of sale or other disposition of the products cut from the timber, unless you choose to treat the cutting of timber as a sale or exchange (explained below). Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Include allowable depletion for timber products not sold during the tax year the timber is cut as a cost item in the closing inventory of timber products for the year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The inventory is your basis for determining gain or loss in the tax year you sell the timber products. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Example. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The facts are the same as in the previous example except that you sold only half of the timber products in the cutting year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You would deduct $20,000 of the $40,000 depletion that year. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You would add the remaining $20,000 depletion to your closing inventory of timber products. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Electing to treat the cutting of timber as a sale or exchange. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You can elect, under certain circumstances, to treat the cutting of timber held for more than 1 year as a sale or exchange. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You must make the election on your income tax return for the tax year to which it applies. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version If you make this election, subtract the adjusted basis for depletion from the fair market value of the timber on the first day of the tax year in which you cut it to figure the gain or loss on the cutting. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You generally report the gain as long-term capital gain. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The fair market value then becomes your basis for figuring your ordinary gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of the products cut from the timber. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version For more information, see Timber in chapter 2 of Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version You may revoke an election to treat the cutting of timber as a sale or exchange without IRS's consent. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version The prior election (and revocation) is disregarded for purposes of making a subsequent election. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version See Form T (Timber), Forest Activities Schedule, for more information. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Form T. Turbotax home & business federal e file state 2011 old version Complete and attach Form T (Timber) to your income tax return if you claim a deduction for timber depletion, choose to treat the cutting of timber as a sale or exchange, or make an outright sale of timber.
